Y'all know my answer to this. I'd be reporting these guys to the cops so
fast their heads would spin. Go someplace else. They are obviously thinking
"Loyal Customer" is synomous with "Complete Idiot". Nail 'em to the wall and
have a reputable mechanic look at your truck. Remember: Sears was caught
doing this very thing and ended up in a heap of hot water. Just 'cause they
have a big name like "Firestone" attached to them doesn't mean they're
trustable. You're doing the right thing, take the extra step and let the cops
know so that they can be busted for fraud.

Well my truck seems to be getting old and requiring alot of maintence. =
I went into Firestone to get a simple brake job done (got a coupon =
because I am such a "loyal customer" tells what I have been through) and =
when I get the call from them performing the 12.99 total inspection I am =
looking at close to 1000 worth of work. First my front disc were to =
thin and couldnt be turned again. I can understand this but they wanted =
to charge me 137 bucks for each. Then they tell me all of my tie rods =
are shoot and need replacement. I had just had the left inner an outter =
replaced alittle over 6 months ago by Firestone when they put on my new =
tires. Then they said I NEEDED an oil change but I just switched it =
over to Mobil 1 syn. about 80 miles ago which really made me mad and =
feel I couldnt trust not a word they said. I also saw on their =
checklist they had suggested that I get the plugs and wires replaced, =
you guessed it I did this last month. They are also telling me that my =
master cyclinder might be gone too. I need help! How can I tell if =
what they say is wrong is really bad? Is my truck going to HELL in a =
had basket? Sorry to take up so much space.
